An integrated VNC viewer sounds very nice but as you say, like a larger undertaking that will take some time of course. But if the API doesn't support starting the virtual machines with vnc enabled, we will have to wait for that. In that case I will probably rig something myself to start the machines with vnc support enabled when needed until then - it is only needed during OS installation after all. Thank you Thomas
